Product Review (submitted on August 2, 2018):

I think I checked every alarm clock made on earth until I found this one. I really like the design, the size, the button layout, the AM (thank you) and FM radio, and most importantly an ambient light-sensing auto-dimming / auto-brightness feature. Exactly what I wanted!! All those features are great! (Radio reception is another story).However, the display is HORRIBLE. It looks fine in the photos above, but that image must be fake. The backlight is a terrible idea. Why would you want a backlight that is so close in color to the text? There is virtually no contrast. Imagine reading dull gray-blue text on a dull blue background. Or don't imagine it, check out the photo. With the auto-dimming feature enabled (which has instantaneous response), the backlight is still too bright at night, but the text is too dim during either day or night. I have to stare at the display for a few seconds to make out the numbers. I just stopped looking at it because it's really not readable day or night.Great design, as long as you don't need to ever read the screen, this is a fine clock.
